Abstract	Utilizing composite counterstorytelling as a method, this article explores the postsecondary education experiences of Black women in STEM. Methodologically, composite counterstorytelling entails creating composite characters situated in sociohistorical, or political situations who embody the themes found after analyzing empirical data, pertinent scholarship, and theory. Empirical data utilized for this article includes interviews conducted with four self-identified Black women pursuing undergraduate degrees in engineering at a predominantly White institution. The current counterstory explores gendered racial microaggressions encountered by Black women in STEM fields, and how Black women respond to these offenses. Moreover, this article highlights how Black women establish spaces where they can be their authentic selves, share experiences, and support one another. Implications for practice and research are discussed. (As Provided).
